Abstract: Energy storage devices, battery cells, and batteries of the present technology may include a housing characterized by a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The housing may include a circumferential indentation proximate the first end. The housing may define a first interior region between the first end and the circumferential indentation, and the housing may define a second interior region between the circumferential indentation and the second end. The batteries may include a set of electrodes located within the housing. The set of electrodes may be positioned within the second interior region of the housing. The batteries may include a cap at least partially contained within the first interior region of the housing. The batteries may also include a first insulator positioned within the housing. The first insulator may extend across the circumferential indentation from the cap to the set of electrodes.

Abstract: Energy storage devices, battery cells, and batteries of the present technology may include a housing characterized by a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The batteries may include a set of electrodes located within the housing. The set of electrodes may be positioned within the interior region of the housing. The set of electrodes may include a first electrode and a second electrode. The first electrode may include a tab coupled with a surface of the housing at a distal end and coupled with the first electrode at a proximal end. The tab may be coupled with a first surface of the first electrode. A first insulating material may be applied along a second surface of the first electrode across a section corresponding to a location where the tab is coupled with the first electrode. The batteries may also include a cap at least partially contained within the interior region of the housing. The cap may be characterized by a first surface facing the set of electrodes.

Abstract: Battery cells are presented that have notched electrodes. In one embodiment, the battery cells have a first notch in an electrode and a second notch in a seal. The second notch allows a first portion of the seal adjacent the first edge to fold without overlapping a second portion of the seal adjacent the second edge. The first notch serves as a relief zone that enables the seal to maintain a seal distance during folding. In another embodiment, the battery cells have a first notch in an electrode and a second notch in a portion of a separator. The first notch and the second notch, in combination, allow the separator to fold along a fold line without tearing. Other battery cells are presented.
